While JU was down yesterday... and it was down all day! It seemingly died in the
ass and became non existent, so I spent most of the day going through things and
packing.
What a rollercoaster ride that was!
I never realised how much stuff I had been carrying with me from place to
place ever since I was a kid. There was old school work, journals, letters,
birthday cards, old accounts and bills. So much stuff that I don't need and
don't want to carry with me anymore. It brought up a whole range of emotions. At
one stage I was sobbing while I was reading a letter from my ex about how much
he loved me but it was time to let go.
At the end I had thrown out four boxes full of stuff. It felt really
draining, and I just had to stop.
I guess this baggage that we carry with us from place to place attaches
itself to us emotionally and is sort of like a ball and chain around our feet.
So it's time to get rid of the baggage and travel lightly.
